Published on 19 Nov 2025

• The India Electric Mobility Index (IEMI) 2024 was launched by NITI Aayog, to assess and guide states on their electric vehicle (EV) transition. 

• The index scores each state on a scale of 0 to 100 based on 16 key indicators, categorized into three themes: transport electrification progress, charging infrastructure readiness, and EV research and innovation. 

• The index categorizes states and Union Territories into three performance groups—Frontrunners (scoring 65-99), Performers (50-64), and Aspirants (0-49)

• No State has scored 100 to claim ‘Achiever’ status. 

• Delhi (score 77), Maharashtra (68), and Chandigarh (65) have been respectively ranked one, two, and three and listed as the only three ‘Front-runners’ on the list. 

• They are followed by the ‘Performers', Karnataka (64), Tamil Nadu (59) and Haryana (54).

• All remaining States and UTs have  ‘Aspirant’ status.

• Findings state that national EV penetration has risen from 0.5% in 2018 to 7.7% in 2024, and over 25,000 public charging stations installed nationwide.
